23 - 26 April, NONNA Hof, Brandenburg
Sensing ~ Spring
A retreat devoted to expanding perception and awakening the senses. Rooted in the body’s intelligence, this gathering invites you to inhabit yourself more fully — to explore how sound, movement, nourishment, and silence shape your awareness and connect you to the living world around you. Over the course of three days, we will move between stillness and expression, inner listening and outward exploration, cultivating sensitivity as a form of consciousness.
Each morning begins with a dynamic asana practice, awakening the body through breath and movement, preparing the senses to meet the day. The rhythm of the retreat flows between moments of shared exploration and introspective quiet. Until after practice, we will observe sacred silence, offering space for inner attunement, rest, and journaling.
As evening falls, AnaRosa’s instruments and voice lead immersive sessions that invite deep release, resonance, and integration. The practice of Deep Listening will weave through these experiences, revealing the subtle layers of perception that emerge when we truly attend to our surroundings. Sound supports a clear, relaxing close to the day.
Joining AnaRosa is her lifelong friend Flo, founder of OHNE Berlin and a member of the Nourished Collective. Flo creates multi-sensory rituals and workshops where living foods, astrology, ancestral medicine, herbalism, and community converge. She approaches food as art, medicine, and ceremony — translating symbolic languages into edible forms that awaken memory and connection.
Throughout the retreat, Flo will nourish us with her astrologically inspired creations and lead a foraging workshop in the gardens of Nonna Hof, deepening our relationship with the natural world and the cycles that sustain us—an invitation to taste the wild.

Situated in the quiet village of Wietstock, Brandenburg, NONNA Hof is a place where nature and community meet in thoughtful coexistence. The spacious garden, with its fruit trees, herbs, and open fields, offers a living environment for hands-on connection and sensory exploration. Rooted in sustainable practice and collective creativity, NONNA Hof reflects a way of being in rhythm with the land. Here, the ~Sensing~ Spring Retreat unfolds in dialogue with this landscape — inviting participants to slow down, engage the senses, and experience the body as part of a shared, living environment.
~ Sensing ~ is a community dedicated to exploring the body as a living landscape—continuously shaped by sensory experience and, through that process, the emergence of consciousness. Through art, movement, somatics, nutrition, sound, and scent, ~Sensing~ cultivates awareness of the body as the medium through which we perceive and navigate the journey of existence.
To help the community grow, we propose the exchanges below. If you are interested in coming and would like to offer an exchange —say, musical, aromatic, or anything you feel would enrich the collective experience —feel free to get in touch, and we can discuss it.
